What is (are) your favourite movie(s) with appliances?

[laundromat]

This movie was filmed in U.K.and was about the restoration of an old FRIGIDAIRE equipped coin laundry.Before it was restored there were thugs who would come in and rob and damage these beautiful machines!!! The original machines got replaced with front loaders and even though the movie focussed more on the love relationship of two gay men,I was more worried about the damages being done to the washers and dryers than the outcome of their (the two gay men)love relationship.Another fun washer scene was the one in the movie "Yours,Mine,and Ours"starring Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda.One scene shows her doing laundry in her basement.They had a laundry shoot and I don't remember if their washer and dryer were front loading Laundromats or Maytags.Another movie Henry Fonda starred in with Sophia Lauren was I think called "Houseboat".In this movie there is a real neat scene where Henry goes to a "Licensed Westinghouse Laundromat equipped"coin laundry to do the wash and sits and talks to the women there as the camera pans the entire shop including the Laundromat washers,Ald-dry dryers,Ald-Spin extractors,and old vending machines as well as old Laundromat use and care directions on the wall!

Yours, Mine, and Ours

Lucille was equipped with multiple Maytags. Funny to think about it---if the producers of the movie had done their homework, they might have been Westinghouse washers. Always bothered me about that movie that they had a raft of top loaders instead of a 25 or 35 pound front loader and one toploader. If I were (Heaven forbid!) washing for a family that large..... Also, I remember that there wasn't a dishwasher(s) in the kitchen-- would have been the thing for a small Hobart.

oh, well
